Separatist insurgents from the troubled southwestern province of Balochistan claimed responsibility, a senior counter-terrorism official, Raja Umar Khattab, said. The police chief of Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city and financial hub, Ghulam Nabi Memon, said the gunmen attacked with grenades and guns after pulling up in a silver Corolla car.
“We locked ourselves in our offices,” said Asad Javed, who works at a brokerage in the stock exchange building, which is in a high-security zone that also houses the head offices of several banks.Bukhari said the attack could not have been carried out without the support of “hostile intelligence agencies” and India's Research and Analysis Wing was one of the primary suspects.
The BLA claimed responsibility in a brief message on a Twitter account set up shortly before the raid, describing it as a “self-sacrificing” attack by its Majeed brigade.Separatists have been fighting for years in Balochistan, complaining its gas and mineral wealth is unfairly exploited by Pakistan's richer, more powerful provinces.The Majeed brigade also took responsibility for an attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi in 2018.
